Stereo 5,
I auditioned the GE’s in two different Hifi emporiums. In the first one they only had the References. After hearing them, I decided to stick with the speakers I own. I couldn’t believe how poor the the presentation was. Just on a hunch, I went to the second store which happened to have all three speakers I was interested in. By a slim margin the Triton 1’s sounded best. Good enough for me to ask them if I could audition the demos at home. I took them home the same day.
Holy Crap!
They sounded fantastic. No comparison to how they sounded at either store. I don’t know how these guys stay in business if not for the home theater crowd. At one time, both establishments were really remarkable.
I agree with no2headphones that two people (or five) may not hear alike or listen to the same type of music or have the same equipment. But, objectively, none of the negative traits described come close to what I hear. The speakers in my setting are truly stunning.
